[REL] RetroNavMapTools - Jiims NavMapTools - Aces Colored Menu Bar (Combined)

OneTinSoldier · 03-26-07, 08:02 AM

Hello All,

I really prefer the old SH3 menu for the NavMap Tools and zAmboni brought it back to us for SH4 with his 'Retro NavMap Tools' mod. I also prefer Jimm's NavMapTools v1.3(made for SH3) compared to SH4's defaults. And I like colors as opposed to black and white, so I threw in Aces Colored Menu Bar which has nice pastel colors.

I converted Jiim's tools to SH4, and with zAmboni's permission for Retro NavMap Tools(sliding drop-down version) I combined all three of these mods into one. None of this is my own work but I hope you enjoy it!

Download here: RetroNavMapTools_Jiims-NavMapTools-v1.3_Aces-Colored-Menu-Bar.7z

Installation:

7-Zip compressed archive utilty found here... http://www.7-zip.org/

Made to be installed with JSGME found here... http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html

Intall JSGME into SH4 and run it once and close it out. It will create a 'MODS' folder inside SH4. Unzip this mod into the MODS folder created by JSGME. Run JSGME and use it to activate the mod and enjoy!

Notes:

- NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER MODS THAT MODIFY THE 'menu_1024_768.ini' file.

- If you prefer black and white for the sliding drop-down navmap tools menu then you can delete the following file within the mod...

Data\Menu\Gui\MapTools.dds

- From the Readme below for Nav Map tools v1.3.... If you want to use the protractor with normal markings (top:0, bottom:180), move the 'Line.dds' file from the 'Documentation\Option-Ruler' folder to the 'Data/Menu/MouseCurs' folder within the mod.

- I believe with Jimm's NavMapTools there is no longer any use/need for the 'Tool Helper' function so I don't think it will do anything.

- From the Readme below for RetroNavTools... 'Ctrl+Eraser' is now the 'Erase All' function. There is also a tool-tip pop-up that tells you this if you hover your mouse over the Eraser.

Thank you!

I wasn't too thrilled with the 'new' look of the tools. I will definately be trying this out!

I'm using your MOD now and it is much easier than the stock tools.
If you ge around to it is it possible to bring the same type of MOD to the Attack screen?

And can we increase the scroll speed for the current MOD and anything you may come up with for the Attack Screen?

Cheers

Can this mod be used with current versions of SH4 and TMO or has further development gone dead?
